Hi, Harikrishnan,
Perhaps the Three Wise Men could be a better target for our messages :-)
(I do hope this Christian metaphor is known enough!)
I think we are messing up things here and this won't be useful for anybody.
Don't you thing it would be better to split this message into three
brand new entries sent to the list? Let's propose...
Gosh ! I didn't realise that I could create such
an uproar ! :-))
To answer Q1. -> I wanted to make XWiki a platform for integrating some
tools like XPlanner with a Project Mangement template which carries copious
amounts of data in its database and also as an area where employees can
interact with each other and share/edit data (making use of versioning).
This is on an experimental basis.
All I wanted to do is -
1. Insert/read data from the company's database (I'm just doing what I am
told to do, okay ?).
Accessing RDBMS other than XWiki own database from XWiki.
2. Allow employees to access their domains in the mail
server/Bugzilla etc.
without the need to type in username & password repeatedly - just login to
XWiki and go to their spaces using links. Something like MS Outlook allows
you to access your all your mail accounts.
Something like single sing on, but I don't get the exact point here. Sorry.
3. Enter documents under discussion which can be
edited by multiple persons
(along with histories and RSS)
Well, this seems to refer any wiki basis: anybody (or any registered
user, or user belonging to a given group, or... depending on your
security configuration) will be able to edit a document. What is the
doubt here?
I hope this is clear enough... :-) Xwiki is serving
its purpose but I guess
just wanted to bend it a bit too much !

As far as I've understood you are ready to contribute with a document
that will help to solve question number 1 (I'm following that from the
"Sample Groovy Code" thread). Am I right? Vicent has asked about this
issue in a previous message.
Please, Harikrishnan, have you succeeded while retrieving data from a
relational database other than XWiki own database by using Groovy code
and you are ready to enter a document about how to do that intended to
help to the whole community?
Cheers,
Ricardo
